In my defense, boyo ;), I consider Excel at least semi-mathmatical. I cannot nor have ever been able to do basic arithmatic without screwing up royally. However, I usually have a good understand and grasp of formula and equations. So, I use Excel to do the arithmatic part, while i take care of...

11? That conforms just fine with the progression, but you have a point about 22. While it still follows the "bracket of 4" concept, it does not double the prior gain, until you get to level 26.

Yes, but its hard to express mathmatically. Starting with a baseline of lvl 1 = 100xp, it increases once a level. 2-5 by 25, 6-10 by 50.... Every 4 levels the increase doubles.

My buddy and I got into this argument today, as I'm trying to create a formula that will calc the experience. His argument was of course "H(V)LOOKUP", which I'm sympathetic to, but there should be a way to do this formula via algebra right? Granted, its complex I'm sure, but it must be doable as...

Another suggestion, it would be kind of swank if it saved which boxes you checked and unchecked on program unload, then re-checked when you loaded the program.

Let me double check this. According to the PDF, elites and solos are the exact same thing? Their stats are substantially different in the DMG. Now, granted I've been up coding in excel now for a few hours.. so my brain is a little fried. But I did want to understand how to value the HP/Defense...

I've read a lot of mixed reviews on this, but in our gaming experience it really hinders the game play. We have a few guys who are ADD (The attention kind, not 2nd Edition), and if they have something in front of them that can distract them when its not there turn, it can be a real pain to get...

I myself was skeptical of power cards. I thought they would be an additional clutter to my already crowded table, so for the game I'm a PC in I decided to forgo that option. Then, I started DMing a game with three people who are brand new to the D&D scene. I felt that power cards would be a must...

This isn't such a big deal because most of us (should) have a PDF creator print driver installed. The concept behind the suggestion is if I can print 4 different monsters to a single PDF file, I can then snapshot cut/paste the monster directly from acrobat into word when i'm typing up my...

Sugs and Bugs Couple of bugs i've found with the monster creater. HP Field: Doesn't appear that adjusting the HP will change them on the monster card preview. I just made a test level 1 skirmisher monster and its hp is 17/8. I tried changing it to 20/10, but it does not update...

In the games that we play, we use a giant whiteboard that has permentantly drawn dots on it representing a grid. The grid is of course 1x1". Two dungeon masters use this board. My friend uses "scrubbed" maps from alternate adventures because he doesn't like designing them, I design mine in excel...

I completely agree. I used the beholder for the center piece in the cover art when making a DM Screen for my friends birthday gift. You don't mind I hope? http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/233038-i-made-dm-screen-3.html#post4503818

Err... How do I do that "Show/Hide" thing? I think it would be helpful for my prior post here. :o Nevermind! Found it out!

After reading this post for a while, I decided to take a crack at making my own DM screen. I kept getting new ideas while doing it, and I’m exceptionally pleased with the results. To start with, we bought a foam core board at JoAnn’s (about $3.00) and cut it into 4 segments. The segments were...

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like you were not going to do so. It was more of a plug for anyone reading to assume that I was just pirating all the books and therefor condoning the activity. :lol:

My mistake, I don't know how I missed that! Either way, thank you for pointing out my folley. So back to the other part of the post with the battlefield knowledge. I'm not sure exactly what kind of check it would be, and am not sure if i want to go so advanced that i make an entirely new stat...

My big push this year has been to get more people interested in D&D. Mostly because it has a huge "nerd" taboo, and noone even seems to know how the game is played ("What do you mean you don't hit each other with sticks?"). As such, I'm starting a newbie freindly campaign with my good D&D...

Having the books in PDF format (which have been OCR'ed) is a pretty easy thing to obtain, and i'm sure that they will be torrentable soon after release for all source material we do not have our hands on. (Bleeding Heart Plug: Please buy the books if you plan on downloading the PDF). After that...

Is the XML coding put in entirerly by hand, or is there a text parser that can automate this process? The reason I ask is that I can see putting in new magic items to be tedius at best. Considering that there are lots (1,000+?) new magic items in adventurer's vault, potentially there is much...

I think the program is absolutly outstanding, and will take away many hours of tedium in designing parcels. As far as improvments go, it would be kind of a nice touch if you could select what kind of items you are looking for. For instance, if noone in the party favors a Mace, it would be...
